Chapter 394 - Ranked  

At five o’clock in the afternoon, at the crossroads where Fang Heng had agreed to trade the first-generation meteorite.

Ai Lei and the other two members of the Dark Knights were fully armed. They each wore a full protective suit to insulate themselves from radiation and also brought a tool box.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the three of them waited anxiously.

“Why isn’t it here yet? Is there any change? ”

“Don’t worry, let’s wait a little longer. It’s not time yet. ”

As they spoke, a small white van gradually drove over from the end of the path ahead.

Ai Lei’s heart relaxed, and he pretended to be relaxed as he said, “Look, he’s here. ”

The van stopped at the roadside.

Fang Heng walked out of the white van.

Yang Xia was surprised at Fang Heng’s youth.

“Fang Heng, you’re late. ”

“You guys came too early. ”

Fang Heng stretched his back muscles.

Apart from a large number of blue crystals, using the teleportation passage required prior maintenance checks, which was very time-consuming.

In addition, Fang Heng also lost 3,000 honor points to cut off a small bit of the first-generation meteorite that belonged to the Dark Knights of District 8.

Yang Xia turned to look at the white van behind Fang Heng.

“Where’s the first-generation meteorite? ”

“Don’t look for it. It’s in my hands. ”

Fang Heng flipped his wrist and handed over a first-generation meteorite fragment.

Yang Xia and the others were frightened.

For a moment, they thought that Fang Heng was joking.

The first-generation meteorite had intense radiation.

Fang Heng actually took it out of thin air?

Could it be a fake meteorite?

Fang Heng spread out his hands.

In the center of his palm lay a thumb-sized stone fragmentl.

Jiang Yueping was the chief researcher of the Dark Knights. He stretched his head over and carefully used tweezers to clamp the fragment, placing it in front of his eyes and observing it for a moment.

“It is the real first-generation meteorite! ” Jiang Yueping’s pupils constricted.

He had checked the information about first-generation meteorite countless times. He could tell whether it was real or fake at a glance.

Jiang Yueping’s tone carried a trace of anxiety, and he couldn’t even keep his breathing calm. He turned his head and urged, “Quick, toolbox. ”

Yang Fei immediately opened the toolbox upon hearing that.

Jiang Yueping held his breath and carefully placed the first-generation meteorite into the toolbox before closing the lid.

“Phew… ” Jiang Yueping heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

Seeing how nervous Jiang Yueping was, Yang Xia also became nervous. She asked softly, “Elder Jiang, is this meteorite real? ”

“Yes, it is indeed a first-generation meteorite. ”

Yang Xia looked at Fang Heng in astonishment.

Was he a human or a ghost? He could actually grab a first-generation meteorite with his bare hands? Was he not afraid of being exposed to radiation?

Jiang Yueping did not dwell too much on the issue of radiation. In his excitement, he could not help but sigh.

“I thought that the spatial rift passage was just a theoretical existence. I did not expect it to be true. With the first-generation meteorite fragment, the shelved research project can be restarted. ”

“Hint: you have submitted the first-generation meteorite fragment (small) to the Dark Knights. Main storyline (District 7) has been affected… ”

“Hint: your friendship with the Dark Knights has increased. Your reputation in the Dark Knights has increased. ”

“Hint: main storyline impact assessment… ”

“Hint: assessment completed. You have obtained 12,000 contribution points from the main storyline (District 7) . Your contribution points ranking in District 7 has risen to 8th place. ”

“Hint: your contribution points from the main storyline have entered the top 10. Your name will appear on the leaderboard rankings and can not be hidden. ”

“What the hell! ” Fang Heng was also stunned.

He did not expect that the submission of a meteorite fragment would directly increase his main storyline contribution points by 12,000. He was instantly stunned on the spot.

He was on the leaderboard rankings?

He could not hide it anymore? !

Fang Heng did not expect to be exposed so quickly at the beginning.

He quickly opened the game log to check.

The name “Fang Heng” was casually slapped on the eighth place main storyline contribution points leaderboard rankings.

He was completely exposed.

The only fortunate thing was that there were no parentheses at the end of the list indicating that Fang Heng was from District 8.

“Fang Heng, thank you very much for your help. If there’s any news about the first-generation meteorite research, we will immediately contact you. ” Jiang Yueping bowed to Fang Heng and solemnly expressed his gratitude to Fang Heng.

He took a box filled with information from Yang Fei and handed it over to Fang Heng.

“This is the laboratory research information I’ve compiled. It includes research on the first-generation meteorite, the zombie virus, the Blood Moon, the first-generation virus, the quarantine zone, and so on. I hope it can be of help to you. ”

“Uh, okay, thank you… ” Fang Heng came back to his senses.

On the bright side, he had gotten a reward of 12,000 main storyline contribution points.

The Federation ranked first on the leaderboard rankings and had 98,000 main storyline contribution points.

The gap between him and first place was already less than ten times.

“Fang Heng, keep in touch. If there are any clues, we’ll communicate at any time. ”

Jiang Yueping had waited for the present day for too long. He couldn’t wait to start researching the first-generation meteorite. He nodded at Fang Heng and returned to the small car with the box.

Ai Lei handed a skill book to Fang Heng. “Here, I’ve been looking for the skill book that I promised you for a long time. I have to escort them to the research institute now. I’ll contact you later. ”

“Okay. ” Fang Heng took the skill book and looked at it before slapping it on his head.

“Hint: you have obtained the skill book on basic potion making. ”

“Hint: you have learned the skill ‘basic potion making. ‘ ”

Skill: basic potion making

Description: you can make potions according to the formula. The success rate of potion making is related to the skill level.

Description: the skill can be upgraded to level 10 and can not exceed the player’s current level (after the skill reaches the maximum level, you can try to upgrade the skill)

Description: you can try to combine various medicinal ingredients to learn a potion formula. Alternatively, you can do so through reading, getting passed down information from others, and so on.

Fang Heng glanced at the game description and muttered softly, “With the basic potion making skill, I can make the warlord potion with a more or less increased success rate, right? ”

…

In Edge Creek Town, the team led by Roche had also returned.

A group of Scavenger Army NPCs crowded in the square, making a lot of noise.

Fang Heng drove the white van back to Edge Creek Town and parked it at the side of the central square.

Just as he got out of the van, a two-line game hint refreshed in front of him.

“Hint: as a result of their defeat, the Scavenger Army has low morale. When participating in the battle, the final effective output of damage will be reduced by 10% . ”

“Hint: as a result of their defeat, the price of all materials that you exchange will be increased by 25% . ”

“Oof. They lost the war again, didn’t they? They were tricked by the mole again, weren’t they? ” Fang Heng thought. He got out of the van and glanced at Cheng Ya, who was sitting in the corner of the square, before walking toward the center of the square.

“Those two young adults beside Cheng Ya look unfamiliar. They’re also players who just joined the Scavenger Army, most likely from the Federation. ” Fang Heng quickly made some calculations in his heart.

Meanwhile, Cheng Ya also noticed Fang Heng, and a hint of vigilance appeared in her eyes.
